Fill Up on Fewer Calories With Soup
Soup is a great choice both as an appetizer and a main meal.
At the beginning of a meal, a broth-based soup (avoid cream soups!) can slow
down your eating and fill you up earlier. Examples of healthy broth-based soups
are minestrone, won-ton, or tortilla soup. You can make an easy soup by
starting with a low-sodium broth, adding vegetables and a protein of your
choice, and simmering until the vegetables are tender.
Choose Whole Grains
Eating whole grains whenever possible is another weight-loss
strategy. Whole grains include brown rice, oats, barley, buckwheat, and whole
wheat. Substituting whole grains whenever possible can help you fill up faster.
These healthy carbohydrates can be found in many prepared products like pizza
crust, waffles, English muffins, and pasta.
Eye Your Skinny Outfits
Hanging a "skinny" outfit where you can see it
helps you remain focused on your weight-loss goals. Don't be unrealistic and
choose an outfit that's four sizes too small. Pick something that you can fit
into after just a short time of healthy eating. After you reach this goal,
choose your next "goal" outfit.
